It is learned that in December, TSMC company transferred to Taiwan High Court the patent office of the country claims arising from possible theft of technological secrets. Management believes that the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer, the former head of the research division - Lin Sun Mon - gave Samsung secrets on 28nm semiconductors. The company also did not rule out that the leak may have been the technology responsible for the production of FinFET transistors with 14 nm standards.

The main argument of the prosecution - a long tramping around Samsung 28-nm process technology. TSMC Company for two years was the only manufacturer that was able to produce 28-nm solutions, and then suddenly the process has joined Samsung, which shortly thereafter immediately (on the scale of the development of new technological processes) has successfully implemented the 14-nm FinFET production. According to the manual TSMC.

We emphasize TSMC company has not yet put forward any claims by Samsung. It is interesting to note that TSMC company started its business in much the same. It hired a media trade secrets from the US, who helped organize the production. It is possible lawsuit against a former employee of the company is based on personal experience.
